Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
13 The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, with every secret thing, whether good or evil.
I think one of the keys to righteous living is understanding that God is always with us, and one aspect of that is that He sees everything we do. We tend to live our lives as if we are alone and can "get away" with certain actions. But God sees everything we do, and will judge every deed, even "every secret thing" (verse 14). If we truly believe that God is there, watching us, then we will "fear God and keep his commandments" (verse 13).
God, help me to remember that You see all and know all.
